A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper Like so many Baen Books these days, this is basically not a science- fiction story. The "40-Minute War" of the title provides the rationale for some very straightforward CIA/spy-type stuff, and the ending indicates that the authors didn't really have an ending. Talk about deus ex machina! Evelyn C.
